Page 111 rescue teams including hazardous materials mitigation, heavy rescue, and swift water rescue services in addition to fire suppression and Emergency Medical Services (EMS). The current locations of Tukwila Fire Stations are listed below. (See Map 1) • Station 51 — 444 Andover Park East • Station 52 — 5900 South 147th Street • Station 53** — 4202 South 115th Street • Station 54 — 4237 South 144th Street ** Not being replaced. FACETS toured all the fire stations several times during the onsite visits. Besides the seismic risks, Station 51, 52 and 54 are not adequate for the current level of services provided by the TFD. These stations are too small for both the equipment stationed there and for the firefighters assigned to them. There are not appropriate facilities for female firefighters including restrooms and sleeping areas. Firefighter safety is not adequately addressed because of current fire station configurations, many times contaminated materials are located too close to items used in the living quarters. It was noted in one station that contaminated backboards are cleaned in the same area as the refrigerators where personnel food is kept. Tukwila Fire Department is an all -hazards department, providing fire suppression, hazardous materials mitigation, technical rescue, and advanced basic support services. TFD does not provide emergency medical transport (ambulance) services. Ambulance service is provided by Medic -One or private ambulance service providers. The current Insurance Services Office (ISO) rating is a Class 3 for Tukwila Fire Department. Using the ISO criteria from the PPC program, Map 2 shows the current coverage for an engine every 1.5 miles and a ladder truck every 2.5 miles.
